Yes!

I have 4 points and plan on doing a rifle hunt this year. I never have put in for rifle deer just put in for the bonus point just incase (mainly done archery OTC). Which unit offers the best quality hunt for mule deer this IS NOT the AZ Strip (12a, 12b, 13a, and 13b)? I will drive anywhere and hiking is not a restriction! Thank you!

Thanks man! I really appreciate it!

The draw is out! Just got informed. I drew a late archery bull tag with 2 points for unit 10 Nov. 13th through the 26th! While my dad and friend got cow tags for the same unit and time with one point for archery! I plan on going up to see what the area looks like and to see access points because I know a ton of the unit is Private property! Do you guys have any good ideas where I should go? Stick to the ponderosa? Or go to juniper? Or even big bo? My dad is getting surgery on his back also in a few weeks and recovery will be 4 months meaning he will be hurting when he hunts so does any body have luck near roads for him at least? Any tips help! I am only 18 and will to hike across the unit but my father happens to have some restrictions! Thank you!

Gotcha! Thank you!

I will see what I can do😂

Dang you guys are a ton of help! Thank you a ton! I will update y'alls on what I find! Thank you!

Thanks man😂imma chase it as soon as the ranch opens!

You gotta do what you gotta do! It is gonna be a heavy amount of money for me so I wanna make it count! And if I do t get anything that is fine too! It's about the memories for me. But fresh elk tendies make it better!

That's amazing! Thank you!

Dang man! That's so cool! I bet itll be tough with FEW elk seen and if I do see them itll be harder sneaking within 30 yards with a bow! I did it with whitetail last january. I just bothed the shot but just sneaking up on it taught me a ton! Thank you! Makes me feel better bout the unit!

Sounds like long story! I'm sorry about that! But I will make sure to add that to my list of stuff to prepare for over the months!

I have been learning how to lately with my friends! The "gridding" technique! I found lots of whitetail in 24b with it and TONS of mullies in 24a and 25m and 26m which is where I found that deer. I am actually going to sportsmens tomorrow to buy a new glass for a far distance tripod. A vortex 15x56 vulture HD! I currently have a 10×50 vortex hd which is great for within 400 yards but I wanna glass for miles! And I will buy my first tripod soon too!

Yeah. It is going to be real tough. Just am trying to look on the positive side! I find deer in "hard hunts" and I mean I know elk is harder but anything can happen! Like I found this deer near Scottsdale in a "bad hunting area"

Just super excited and ready to go at it I guess. First elk hunt n all that too. I know itll be challenging but I plan on going a lot over the next few months so I am trying to find lots of good starting points!

I'm renting a truck😂my bad!

I live in Apache Junction! 20 miles East of Phoenix! There is thing called avail car lending. And what it does is that someone parks their car at this place and they pay you for the car you drop off when someone leaves the airport and I can use it while that person is on vacation! It's expensive but my parents do not have any new cars and neither do I. However me and my friend (same age) are halting each expense for this hunt!

That's exciting! I will be going up there this Thursday to see what all is going on! If I find anything I can send you pics! Bull or cow! I will be near the William's area near kiabab lake! Then as the season gets closer I will work towards the west portion!

Thank you! I am renting a car this Thursday to go up there for the first time. Never been in the part of the state! I am gonna go near the kiabab lake area and work my way west at it gets closer towards season!

I'll take that as a for sure area😂I'll get the bone. Thank you!

Why not maybe? Is the area that good?

I got a unit 10 archery bull tag with 2 points while my dad and friend got antlerless archery for unit 10! Both hunts are at the same time!

Awesome! Thank you!

What is a flatline map? I have the whole unit map that is like 4 feet long plus I have onXhunt

Awesome! Thank you!
